COLUMBUS, January 15, 1870.
MY DEAR SIR: - I
congratulate you very heartily on the result of the election in your State.
Having some knowledge by reputation and otherwise of General Hamilton, Governor
Pease, and Judge Bell, I felt some doubt when I last saw you as to the true
condition of affairs in Texas. I was unwilling to think that those gentlemen
intended to abandon the Republican Party. I regret their course. Your opinions
and conduct have been fully vindicated by the issue, and I trust your services
will secure you the honorable recognition which I am told your friends propose
to give you.
Sincerely,
R. B. HAYES.
MR. JOHN W. GLENN, Washington, D. C.
